In recent days switched reluctance motor is widely used for numerous industrial applications due to its simple structure, minimum cost and maximum efficiency. Regardless of numerous exclusive benefits of the switched reluctance motor (SRM), acoustic noise of this motor is high and it is important to accomplish more analysis on the noise lessening, which is the primary goal of this paper. The major causes of acoustic noise in a SRM are torque ripple and radial magnetic force. Since radial magnetic force is highly influential by the design of motor, torque ripple control is analysed in this article for acoustic noise control. Torque ripple control of SRM is proposed using optimization in direct torque control (DTC) method. Nowadays, optimisation plays a crucial role in motor drives for enhanced control. In this paper, artificial raindrop algorithm is proposed in DTC of SRM to minimise torque ripple. Performance of proposed ARA based DTC of four-phase 8/6 SRM is analysed using Matlab and compared with the performance of fuzzy gain scheduling PI controller based DTC.

A speed control algorithm is proposed for variable speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives taking into account the effects of mutual inductances. The control scheme adopts two-phase excitation; exciting two adjacent phases can overcome the problems associated with single-phase excitation such as large torque ripple, increased acoustic noise, and rotor shaft fatigues. The effects of mutual coupling between two adjacent phases and their contribution to the generated electromagnetic torque are considered in the design of the proposed control scheme for the motor. The proposed controller guarantees the convergence of the currents and the rotor speed of the motor to their desired values. Simulation results are given to illustrate the developed theory; the simulation studies show that the proposed controller works well. Moreover, the simulation results indicate that the proposed controller is robust to changes in the parameters of the motor and to changes in the load torque.



In recent decades, Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive has proved to be an attractive alternate for the conventional industrial drives. Many published research works have proved that SRM drives finds significant application in almost all industrial sectors. This paper presents a comprehensive review on various control strategies of SRM drive implemented in literatures. The objective of this review is to identify the accurate control strategies for controlling the SRM speed and torque. This paper also reviews the various strategies for minimization of the torque ripples, acoustic noise and vibration in SRM

With the demand for fuels to cater the needs of day to day usage of vehicles, the best alternative solution is to use electric vehicles. In-wheel Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is the best direct drive motor used in electric vehicles owing to its low cost, simplicity, high torque to inertia ratio. Vibration is a major problem which causes acoustic noise. This paper deals with the design and analysis of In-wheel Switched Reluctance Motor which produces high average torque with low vibration. The above desired performance of In-wheel SRM can be obtained by modifying the stator and rotor pole shapes of In-wheel SRM with notches and projections. Electromagnetic analysis of 3 phase 6/8, 1500 rpm In-wheel SRM is done by FEA based CAD package MagNet. Average torque and Torque ripple is obtained from the static torque characteristics. 3D structural FE analysis is done to obtain the modal frequencies of In-wheel SRM. Ansys 14.0 aids in the Structural FE analysis. The performance of modified In-wheel SRM is compared with the conventional In-wheel SRM. The results conclude that the modified In-wheel SRM is superior than the conventional In-wheel SRM in terms of high average torque and low vibration.
